Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

In order to attract his attention, her tricks are getting more and more.

"When did the young lady leave?" he asked Wang Po, who was on duty at night.

"The young lady left last night."

Lu Ziqian nodded, not taking it seriously at all.

"General, should we send someone to ask the young lady to come back?"

The man said firmly: "No, she will come back by herself."

Did she think that life would be better if she returned to her parents' home?

If the Su family really cared about her, she would have been invited by the sisters-in-law yesterday.

So, she will come back obediently in two days, and there is no need to invite her.

To avoid spoiling her and causing unrest in the family in the future.

He still likes her being obedient and docile.

"Make breakfast, something simple."

"Yes."

After the court session, the officials rushed to Yingwu Hall with hungry stomachs.

Yingwu Hall is where breakfast is provided to officials in the palace. Some officials who live far away or are too lazy to bring lunch boxes will have a simple meal here.

When several officials who had a good relationship with Lu Ziqian saw him coming in with a lunch box, they shamelessly came over.

Lu Ziqian took a day off two days ago, and they haven't had any meals for two days, which made them lose the energy to work these days.

"Good morning, Brother Lu. I heard that my sister-in-law has been found?"

Lu Ziqian nodded and explained casually: "Well, I came back from the Guanyin Temple and got lost on the way down the mountain. I was trapped in the mountains for two days."

After listening to Lu Ziqian's explanation, everyone shut up tactfully.

After all, this is someone else's family affair. Whether it is true or false, it has nothing to do with them, so they just listen for fun.

There's no need to ask further, it's embarrassing.

Just when everyone understood each other, a discordant voice rang out: "Are you sure you're lost?"

"Why did I hear that she eloped with the number one scholar?"

The speaker was Wang Heng, the second son of Marquis Jing'an. As a military general of the younger generation, he was always outshined by Lu Ziqian, and was therefore very unhappy.

This time, I will certainly not miss the opportunity to kick someone when he is down.

Before Lu Ziqian could say anything, Gu Heng, who was dining nearby, spoke first: "General Wang, please be careful with your words!"

"A woman's reputation is above all else. How could you fabricate such nonsense and destroy her innocence?"

Wang Heng smiled ambiguously, and said provocatively, "Hey, are you anxious?"

"It seems that the rumors are not entirely false. At least Mr. Gu's friendship with Madam Lu is real."

"General Lu, Lord Gu is so protective of your wife. You should really thank him."

Lu Ziqian raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Trying to stir up trouble?"

"Oh, only a simple-minded idiot like you would believe those rumors."

"Everyone in the capital knows that my wife is deeply in love with me. Her love is stronger than gold!"

"If she had loved Master Gu, she would have married him back then. Why would she have eloped with him after getting married?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought.

Su Yujiao never concealed her love for Lu Ziqian, and even pursued him openly, and everyone in the capital knew about it.

It was also an open secret that Su Yujiao had plotted against Lu Ziqian.

As for Gu Heng, he was a retainer of the Su Mansion when he was still a down-and-out scholar, and he and Su Yujiao were childhood sweethearts.

The two grew up together and had a close relationship. If Su Yujiao liked him, she would have married him long ago. After all, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first!

Therefore, she has no reason to elope with Gu Heng now!

It can be seen that rumors cannot be trusted.

However, what the gate guard said was true, and what Gu Heng's mother did at the gate of the general's mansion was also true, so the rumors became more and more intense.

Wang Heng snorted coldly: "Humph, if you say it's fake, it's fake?"

"Do you dare to ask his mother to come over and confront him?"

"It was his mother who said she eloped..."

Gu Heng suddenly bowed to Lu Ziqian: "This matter is indeed my mother's fault. I apologize on her behalf."

"Regarding those rumors, Gu should indeed give an explanation to the General's Mansion."

"Three days ago, Madam Lu went to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense and did not return home until very late."

"At that time, General Lu happened to be in Guanyin Mountain suppressing bandits, and Mrs. Lu was not at home."

"Xiao Tao can only come to the mansion to ask me for help in finding someone."

"I left in a hurry and didn't explain to my mother. When she chased me out, we had already left on horseback. She only saw my back."

"My mother mistakenly thought the woman who was looking for me was Madam Lu, so she went to your house and made a scene, trying to use the power of the General's Mansion to get me back."

"This is what caused trouble to Madam Lu. I am deeply sorry."

"I should have brought my mother to apologize yesterday, but because of Madam Lu's reputation, it has been delayed until now."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.

"Humph, everyone knows that you like Su Yujiao, so of course you will cover for her."

At this moment, Censor Liu suddenly stepped forward with a sullen look on his face: "Wang Heng, you have repeatedly insulted the reputation of women. Do you think I dare not report you?"

"Old Liu, why are you everywhere?"

"I cannot let a good person be wronged. I want to clear Madam Su's name."

"Mrs. Su was indeed lost in the mountains, and she rescued her son who was also lost in the forest."

"Madam Su is my son's savior. Just for this reason, I cannot sit idly by and allow you to destroy her reputation here."

"Hmph, I will go to the Imperial Study and complain to you."

After saying this, Censor Liu turned and left, and Wang Heng hurriedly chased after him.

This old man has a very bad temper. The ginseng he said is real ginseng.

There is no one in the capital who is not afraid of him. This old man even dares to report to the emperor.

He is like a fly, whoever he targets will be in trouble.

The troublemaker left, and Lu Ziqian and Gu Heng looked at each other, with undercurrents surging between the two men.

Lu Ziqian suddenly leaned in and whispered, "Gu Heng, Su Yujiao is not someone you can dream of. Stay away from her."

Gu Heng smiled calmly: "Whether I can dream about it or not is not up to you."

Lu Ziqian sneered, his tone contemptuous: "You are quite confident in yourself."

"It's a pity that she would rather be with me and curry favor with me than with you. Isn't that infuriating?"

Gu Heng listened to his contemptuous and sarcastic tone, and anger finally appeared on his gentle face.

"Lu Ziqian, you don't deserve her."

"Whether it's suitable or not, it's not up to you to decide."

"Lord Gu may not know, but my wife is very clingy and can't be driven away. It really bothers me." The man shrugged, pretending to be helpless.

Although everyone couldn't hear the conversation between the two, they could feel the tense atmosphere.

Everyone was afraid that they would fight, so they found a random excuse to drag the two away.

"Brother Lu, what delicious food did my sister-in-law make today? Can you let me have some?"

"The meat sauce buns and eight-treasure porridge we had last time were really good."

"The roujiamo is also very good, so fragrant!"

As they were talking, they went to look through Lu Ziqian's lunch box, and were disappointed when they saw steamed buns, pickled vegetables and white porridge inside.

"My sister-in-law made something a little simple today. I guess I won't have a good time today..."
